Story review

Capricorn (cap) Anderson does not know what television is, and has never eaten a pizza in his life. He has lived in garland for most of his life and was home schooled by his grandmother who does not agree with the outside world at all. when his grandma (Rain) goes to the hospital because she falls off a tree trying to get a some fruit’s, and cap tries to drive his grandma to the hospital so she can get treated; he got caught by a cop for driving without a licence and being only 13 years of age.

And then he gets forced by the police who caught him driving, to stay with a guidance counsellor who used to live in garland back when she was little but she had move to the city with her parents. And when he goes the to the guidance counsellor house he meets her daughter, Sophie who does not like cap at all. And pours a bucket full of water on his head because he was doing yoga on the front porch. but after a couple of weeks they started getting along, and he started to teach her how to drive.


 And on his first week of school he gets elected president, just for a joke, and then he has to plane the Halloween dance so when he gets a check from the principle to use for the dance but of course he doesn't know what a checks is and how its used, and he thought that the money wont run out. And used most of it for charity. After a couple of weeks his grandma was free to go home so she went straight to here grandsons school to pick him up and go back to their farm (garland). 


so when the president left their was no one to organise the dance and no money left from the check that was for the dance. so the they had to cancel it. But the students figured a way to make this the best Halloween party ever. this books title was schooled and I think it is called that;cause it shows the experience that students have when their in middle school.       

Christian perspective  

Well this book was very good and it wasn’t from a Christian perspective but it wasn’t from a noun Christian perspective either, but the might of found a better way to deal with the problem. The Character should have asked the teachers or the principle what he was supposed to do, being president and all and what was expected of the president. The character dealt with the conflict in a godly way in the end so it turned out pretty good, And Capricorn Anderson became one of the greatest presidents in the history of C average middle school.

My thoughts

At the start I thought that this book was kind of confusing cause in every chapter it had a one of the characters in the book view of what was happening. But after a couple of chapters you’ll get used to it. and I challenge all book lovers to read this book and see how the story terns out to be.
